■

Designed using a single custom Application Specific Integrated Circuit

(ASIC). The custom ASIC implements a very high performance, multi-

class, multi-protocol fibre channel host adapter with a 64-bit PCI bus

connection in a single chip.

■ Supports a full-duplex fibre channel connection at full-link bandwidth

providing a total throughput of greater than 2 Gbits/sec.

■ Controlled by a 233 MHz, 32-bit Intel StrongARM RISC processor.

Performance Specifications

The HBA is a high-performance I/O solution for applications such as

client/server configurations, database I/O environments, multimedia

applications, and imaging technologies. Each of these requires high-level

throughput with low-latency characteristics.

The HBA is both ANSI Fibre Channel and PCI Local Bus Compliant and

supports:

■ Full PCI bus speed data transfers of 133 MBytes/sec

■ Point-to-point arbitrated-loop, and switch fabric FC connections

■ Storage protocol

■ Fibre channel class 1, 2, 3

■ Direct interface to fibre optical cables through an embedded SC type

short-wave multi-mode connection

Collectively, these characteristics create a high-performance fibre channel

HBA.

Standards

The HBA conforms to the following standards:

■ ANSI Fibre Channel FC-PH, Revision 4.3

■ ANSI Fibre Channel FC-AL, Revision 4.5

■ PCI Local Bus, Revision 2.0/2.1

■ Fibre Channel Class 1, 2, 3

Recording Reference Numbers

Each HBA ships with a unique address identifier that is stored in flash

memory. Fibre channel industry standards issue two unique identifiers:

WorldWide Port Name (WWPN) and Node Name (NN), each of which is

derived from the HBA’s IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and NN create

the WorldWide Name (WWN) which is an 8-byte field that uniquely identifies

an HBA on a FC circuit.

Recording the Address and Serial Number

The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record

the addresses on the lines below for future reference.

IEEE address: __________________________________________________

Serial number: __________________________________________________

Installing the HBA into a Computer

Following is the procedure for installing the HBA into a computer.

WARNING: Be sure to observe the ESD precautions for this procedure.

1. Make sure the computer is powered down and the AC power cord is

disconnected.

2. Remove the screws on the computer cover, and then remove the cover.

3. Remove the blank panel from an empty 32- or 64-bit PCI bus slot.

4. Insert the HBA into the empty PCI bus slot; press firmly until it is

seated securely.

5. Secure the HBA mounting bracket to the computer panel with the panel

screws.

6. Replace the computer cover and secure it using the previously removed

screws.

Verifying the Installation

To verify the HBA is properly installed and is operating:

1. Connect the computer AC power cord and then turn the computer on.

2. At power up, observe the POST LED indicators on the HBA. The

position of the Post LED indicators is defined in Figure 1-1 and Table 1-

1 of this manual. The green LED indicates power functions and the

yellow LED signifies port activity. The Yellow LED blinks at all times

during normal operation. Table 2-1 lists normal LED indications.
